This week, luxury concept label Wardrobe.NYC has released its latest collection of women’s summer knit essentials, titled R09 Stretch. Cofounded by Josh Groot and Christine Centenera in 2017, the collection continues the brand’s ethos of offering minimalist, versatile wardrobe capsules with new formfitting, Italian-made cotton-polyamide-lycra blend knitwear styles.

“Knitwear is a foundation to my summer wardrobe and something we wanted to realize in a clear and concise way,” Centenera said in a statement. “I love knitwear because it travels well, it always looks polished, it’s flexible and adaptable, so [it] can be worn on different body shapes, and in different ways.”
“Stretch introduces new techniques for Wardrobe.NYC; we wanted a matte, dry textured knit that performs, and really holds you in. It took time to develop the right balance between holding shape, making the wearer feel secure, and being comfortable to wear,“ Goot added.
